Powersupply for Radeon X1900GT

[HHasund]

I have a HP DC7100 Minitower with a standard 340W PS, and I am considering
adding a new videocard.

It seems like a Radeon (Sapphire or Powercolor) X1900GT will satisfy my
gaming needs. Will I have to buy a new PS if I want to use such a card?

The pc also has two harddrives and a DVD-burner.

You may want to hold off until Sept 14.ATI releases the x1900xt
256mb.It's the same as the x1900xt 512mb with half the ram.Higher core
and memory clocks and an increase from 36 to 48 pixel pipes will
greatly incease performance over the x1900gt.Price at introduction is
$279
